Cartoon Island - A Surreal Comedy of Survival: Daily Summaries Delivered
by The Oceanic Intervention & Observation Initiative
Lost on a tiny two-tree island, hapless castaways, Jason and Bradney, struggle to make it through each strange day in this immersive improvised comedy misadventure. Every morning, boxes mysteriously wash up on shore. The items inside are pretty useless. The island is a bit weird. They have absolutely no idea where they are and very little idea of what to do. With only the junk they unbox and a few coconuts each, simply surviving is a real surreal challenge. Welcome to Cartoon Island.New episodes transmitted every other Tuesday.

Season One Finale - Day 26/One Year - An Explanation Without an Answer
It's a quiet one. Until it's not. And then it really, really isn't. What starts as a quiet day catching up on some messages in a bottle, suddenly takes a turn. Or a spin. Or a warp? Honestly, I genuinely can't say exactly what happens. But it's a doozy. And the two end up somewhere new. And also, not at all...

Day 25 - A Boon for Balloons (feat. Waleed Mansour as Bailey, the consciousness of 5000 balloons.)
Remember Balloonfest '86 ?! The ill-conceived fundraising event in Cleveland in 1986 that released over 1.4 million balloons into the sky and was immediately deemed to be a self-inflicted, man-made disaster? Neither does Bailey, the collective consciousness of approximately 5000 of those original balloons. Apparently, it takes several weeks for a balloon consciousness to form. But he's seen the footage of his "birth" I guess we'll call it? Anyway, on his life's journey to find and regro...

Day 24 - Heart-shaped God (feat. Adal Rifai as Good the God)
Jason and Bradney are visited by a god. More specifically, the god of stranded hearts. I know, it sounds really sweet. But, honestly, the heart is just a shape. Hailing from Undoof, the realm of the gods, Good the God apparates onto the island, ostensibly, to offer solace. Instead, it's mostly just all new sorts of chaos. And a homunculus. Or two. Oh, and a 2004 Dodge Durango! Good the God is performed by Adal Rifai. Adal is the creator and co-host of the podcast Hey...

Day 23 - Let's Boogie(Board)!!! (feat. Alan Giles as Reefus Burger)
Jason and Bradney encounter a powerful force from their ancient past: the exuberance of youth. On this day, it's in the form of a newly-turned 21 yr old Olympic hopeful boogie boarder, Reefus Burger. Reefus Burger is performed by Alan Giles. Alan Giles is a comedian who occasionally walks on stilts. His viral online sketch and character videos have garnered millions of views and hundreds of questions about his actual height (still undetermined). He has performed sketch and improv for 10+ year...

Day 22 - Merry Moinmas from Rocko's Swim-Up Bar! (feat. Meaghan Strickland as Carol the Lawyer Mermaid and Tim Lamphier as Tom the Pizza Delivery Guy)
The castaways spend a long lunch break with Carol, a lawyer (and mermaid ) who is concerned about a very serious case. Luckily, delivery guy Tom, a Lothario with a penchant for arson, provides some distraction. And pizza. Of a sort, anyhow. It's really not his fault - it's her regular Tony's Pizza order. Carol is performed by Meaghan Strickland Meaghan is a comedian in LA formerly of NY and Chicago. She hosts Funny Games at The Elysian Theater and Horse Around Comedy Show at Nico's/Baby Bat...

Day 21 - The Boy(s) In The Bubble
Jason details a bit more of his past working in television. Well, it was early streaming actually, and even then, it never made it "to air". And Bradney takes a trip. No, sorry, that's not exactly right. Bradney trips. Or maybe...it really happened. "Real" is so dang tricky in this whole situation.
